A series of social networks occurs, but there is a big problem

A series of the 2010 film acclaimed by the criticism of David Fincher “The Social Network” arrives, but I regret informing you that there is already a huge problem.

According to an exclusive report from the deadline, Aaron Sorkin, who won an Oscars for the script for the first film, should make a film that – to date – is simply called “The Social Network II”. Journalist Justin Kroll noted that the film is not a direct sequel but “rather a series of the original film which explored the origins of what was going to become the largest social media platform in the world”.

Of course, the crashes surrounding Facebook and his parent company Meta – all led by Mark Zuckerberg, who was impatiently played and perfectly by Jesse Eisenberg in the original film – is quite interesting, but because Sorkin is ready to direct, Fincher will not be in the chair of the director this time, and I would be ready to bet almost all that Eisenberg and his curses will not come back either. (For the good of everyone, it is preferable that Armie Hammer, who portrays the spoiled twins of Harvard, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss in the original film, also maintains his distance.) “The social network”, which Sorkin initially adapted the book of Ben Mezrich “The accidental Billionaires”, is a real appearance, but it is not possible, but it is not possible, The entry of the entrance to one of the largest social phenomenons twice here – not uninfined, Eisenberg and Garfield, at least.

The consequences without people of the first film are, on the whole, a bad idea, although I admit that Sorkin’s planned approach rings sort of interesting. News have emerged, in recent years, that Facebook may have played a huge influence on the American elections, rumors of Russian interference in 2016 to the fact that people who organized an insurrection to the American Capitol on January 6, 2021 in the name of Donald Trump used Facebook to plan meetings (and were apparently never noticed or reported by anyone who was maintained. The deadline article mentions that Sorkin specifically wants to focus on this second point, and again, it’s an interesting angle! However, I am wary of the fact that Sorkin seems to lead it alone.

When Sorkin is left to himself as a filmmaker, the results can be … confused, at the very least. Let’s watch his film in 2020 “The Trial of the Chicago 7” and his film in 2021 “Being the Ricardos”, which both suffer from important bloating and, despite taking signs of the Oscars, does not even approach you from the summits (or even stockings) of the body of Fincher’s work. Fincher is a director known for his incredibly specific direction; During a panel of actors “mindhunter” years ago, I learned that when you audition to finish, he prefers the actor to deliver their lines in a relatively flat tone of voice and not to raise their inflection on the lines which include questions, so that he can look at the raw material and from there.

Tips like that, that’s why fincher was the Perfect Nobody to direct “the social network”, a film as well injured and as precise as possible which strengthens an absolutely crazy tension … Some prosecution and a website. In addition, the demanding eye and precision of Fincher are probably what has kept a lot of more grandiloquent impulses of Sorkin in check on this film, so without finishing on board to reread Sorkin, it is honestly worrying to think about what we are going to get from this suite.

“The social network”, which is extremely good and does not need a suite, is currently available to rent or buy on the main streaming platforms. If you want a real interior story of the drama in the backstage of Facebook, try to read “Careless people: A Awardary Tale of Power, Greed and Lost Idealism”, a memory written by the former executive of Facebook Sarah Wynn-Williams which was published in 2025.
